I started posting on HowieinSeattle in 11/04, following progressive American politics in the spirit of Howard Dean's effort to "Take Our Country Back." I decided to follow my heart and posted on seattleforbarackobama from 2/07 to 11/08.--"Howie Martin is the Abe Linkin' of progressive Seattle."--Michael Hood.

In his State of the Union address, President Obama stressed the need to create jobs in America. Unfortunately, he completely ignored the massive issue of offshoring American jobs. To make matters worse, he's meeting with the US Chamber of Commerce next month - A group that helps companies send jobs overseas while reaping huge US tax breaks. He was also silent on other issues in the last year that could have bolstered American job creation. Mike Papantonio and Ed Schultz sound off on what needs to be done to bring good jobs back to America.
